Parcours David Friedman Photography: Blog: Inventors Archives It’s been way too long since I’ve posted one of these. This is my portrait of Steven Sasson, inventor of the digital camera. He was the 32nd inventor in my project. I shot him in October at Kodak’s headquarters in Rochester, just a couple weeks before President Obama awarded him the National Medal of Technology. When he initially mentioned that the first digital camera held 30 pictures, I assumed that was due to the storage capacity of the digital tape. Here are a couple photos from our shoot, as seen in the video: Update: A few people have commented on the upholstery, so I thought I’d expound on that a little bit: The only room made available to me for shooting at Kodak was the lobby, which wasn’t very inspiring.

Google Earth Library » Google Earth Network Links Explained Network Links are a very powerful, but very simple, feature of Google Earth that every Google Earth user should understand. Also, EVERY Google Earth content developer that hosts KML/KMZ files online should understand Network Links and make use of them when it makes sense. So take a couple minutes and read below to learn how to make use of this powerful feature of Google Earth. Background: Normally when you add custom KML content to you My Places, all of the data included with that custom KML file gets added to your main myplaces.kml file (saved under Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Google\GoogleEarth\myplaces.kml). If instead, you decide to use a Network Link, some important things will happen: Instead of your myplaces.kml file becoming 15 megabytes larger, it will only become 1-2 kilobytes larger. How does all this happen? Creating a Network Link: If your still reading, then I must have convinced you Network Links are a good thing. Content Developers: That’s it.

8 Jules Verne Inventions That Came True (Pictures) Google Earth en Hist Géo : Présentation 1-PRESENTATION GOOGLE EARTH 2-LES CONCURRENTS ? 3-COMPARAISON avec le GEOPORTAIL -Pourquoi un produit gratuit ? En réalité, il existe plusieurs versions : -version de base gratuite -versions payantes -Quelles informations sont disponibles ? Tout dépend de l'espace à visualiser ! Pour l'Europe et l'Asie, la résolution actuelle suffit pour visualiser des quartiers ou rues des (très) grandes villes, ainsi que pour se rendre compte des paysages. Attention toutefois, beaucoup d'espaces ne sont pas disponibles en haute résolution et le zoom sera... flou ! Google indique que sa priorité actuelle serait de couvrir l'Europe... -Puis-je utiliser Google earth ? Tout dépend - du matériel utilisé : l'application nécessite un ordinateur puissant (donc récent) avec windows XP, un processeur de type pentium 4 à 3,5 Ghz, avec 512 Mo de mémoire vive, une carte graphique 3D avec32 Mo de vram et 2Go de libre sur le disque dur. -Comment fonctionne-t-il ? -Comment l'installer ? -Est-ce difficile à utiliser ?

Video: Roiling Sun Captured From All Angles | Wired Science When it comes to solar storms, there’s no longer any place to hide. For the first time, solar scientists have obtained simultaneous views of the entire sun, both the front and back sides. The unprecedented 360-degree panorama, released by NASA on Feb. 6, combines sharp images of the sun’s front side recorded by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory with those from NASA’s twin Stereo spacecraft, which have just begun an eight-year exploration of the rotating sun’s far side. The images can also capture eruptions on the back side so short-lived that they disappear before that region of the sun rotates into view, says Stereo scientist Joseph Gurman of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. The new Stereo images resolve features on the sun about 2,400 kilometers [1,500 miles] across. Video: This solar portrait captures the far side of the sun, hidden from Earth’s view, as een by NASA’s twin Stereo spacecraft. See Also:

Science News: Nanoguitar Photo by D. Carr and H. Craighead, Cornell. The world's smallest guitar is 10 micrometers long -- about the size of a single cell -- with six strings each about 50 nanometers, or 100 atoms, wide. Made by Cornell University researchers from crystalline silicon, it demonstrates a new technology for a new generation of electromechanical devices. The world's smallest guitar -- carved out of crystalline silicon and no larger than a single cell -- has been made at Cornell University to demonstrate a new technology that could have a variety of uses in fiber optics, displays, sensors and electronics. The "nanoguitar" -- made for fun to illustrate the technology -- is just one of several structures that Cornell researchers believe are the world's smallest silicon mechanical devices. "We have a new technology for building the smallest mechanical devices," said Harold G. The guitar has six strings, each string about 50 nanometers wide, the width of about 100 atoms. Photo by D.
